COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
If Maris Otter malt is the body of our beer then hops are its spirit. Each year we choose our hops not just by farm but by individual garden and time of harvest. One older variety, Challenger, and one new,Boadicea,used as unprocessed whole leaf hops. Extravagant, perhaps, but delicious.

Creamy head. Pale golden color. I[’ve had better British bitters. Likeable enough.

Kinda bland for my taste. A good session beer though. It’s ok. I probably won’t get this one again.

kwoeltje (1765) - Manchester, Missouri, USA - APR 15, 2007
(draught at Max’s in Baltimore) Amber with very little head. Aroma is malt and bread. Flavor is on the malty/sweet side with some hops. Decent bitter.

markas101 (1439) - Sheffield, South Yorkshire, ENGLAND - MAR 31, 2007
1 pint bottle, Fargo. Pale golden colour. Light refreshing flavour, citrus and sweet grass. Fairly light for my taste but certainly could drink more than one. Maybe at a sunday afternoon bbq or something.

slimchill (936) - Austin, Texas, USA - MAR 16, 2007
WFM sample. Subtle hop aroma. Taste is a very well balanced malty sweetness. Strong finish with a faint smoky character.

Mungo (2473) - Southampton, Hampshire, ENGLAND - MAR 12, 2007
Bottle (from Bitter Virtue). Pale. Unusual hop aromas and flavours - some pleasant floral fruitiness developing into an annoying metallic grassiness. Some slightly sweet malt and caramel with hops unfortunately the main focus here.

GoBlue (103) - Falls Church, Virginia, USA - FEB 1, 2007
Deep gold wolor with thick lasting head. Wonderful aroma of Challenger hops with solid malt backbone. Flavor is a pleasant balance of hops and malt in delicate combination. Finishes with a slight apricot flavor. Very nice session beer.
